Bus signs criticizing OC Transpo workers’ wages rejected

OTTAWA — The Ottawa Citizen reports that the Ottawa Taxpayer Advocacy Group is suing the City of Ottawa, claiming it is being wrongly prevented from buying ads on OC Transpo buses that attack transit workers’ pay. The city has responded that it didn’t reject the ad for being critical, but instead for being inaccurate, and suggested revised wording. For the full story, click here.

The CTfastrak transit system provides direct service to and from Waterbury, Cheshire, Southington, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain, Newington, West Hartford, Hartford, East Hartford and Manchester with routes that take advantage of the bus-only CTfastrak roadway.

ABQ RIDE is looking to model its plan after the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority’s HealthLine, which is sponsored through a hospital partnership. Construction on the so-called ART system could begin in May 2016 with an in-service date of September 2017.
